Earthquakes and Refugees: Turkey's Political and Economic Challenges Ahead of a Presidential Election

Résumé

On February 6, 2023, two devastating earthquakes of magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5 struck southern Turkey within a span of nine hours. Another earthquake of magnitude 6.4 hit the region on February 20. These earthquakes resulted in an estimated 50,000 deaths in Turkey and approximately 6,000 deaths in northwest Syria. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) estimates more than 4.1 million people affected by the earthquakes are currently relying on humanitarian assistance and the latest official report from Turkey reveals the cost of the earthquakes is 2 trillion Turkish lira, which is approximately 103.6 billion US dollars. The massive devastation caused by the earthquakes prompted the government to immediately declare a state of emergency in the 11 affected provinces, impacting a 500 km² area and almost 14 million people, equivalent to 15% of Turkey’s population.
